Benefits of technology

The invention provides a tinting composition that can be applied to the skin to create a natural-looking tan. The composition is made from plant extracts and is safe and effective for use in cosmetics. The invention also provides several tinting solutions that can be adapted to different phototypes. Overall, the invention solves the technical problem of providing a cost-effective and safe solution for creating a healthy-looking tan.

Problems solved by technology

The main drawback of DHA is the appearance of color and of odor in the formulae which make use of them.

Skin Colors Obtained Before and After Natural Tanning, by Phototype

[0070]The color of the skin of volunteers was measured (in triplicate), before and after natural tanning, by a colorimetric technique with the aid of a Chromameter CR300 (Minolta, Japan). The chromametry enables the objective quantification of changes in colors. The measurements are given as three parameters: L, a and b, wherein L measures the brightness (from white +L to black −L), a measures the > appearance (from red +a to green −a), and b measures the > appearance (from yellow +b to blue −b)

[0071]From these parameters, it was possible to calculate the Individual Typology Angle or ITA, defined by the following simplified formula:

I.T.A.=arc tang[(L*−50) / b*]

L*, a*, and b* meaning the average of the value of L, a, and of b, respectively.

a) Preparation of Extracts

A—Preparation of an Extract of a Plant from the Family of Compositae or Asteraceae, (Extract of Chicory)

[0082]1) Introduce, into aqueous phase, the chicory plant, preferably the root of chicory, after grinding (e.g. introduce, into 95 g of water, 5 g of root at ambient temperature for 48 hours);[0083]2) The extract is then filtered;[0084]3) The filtrate obtained is concentrated by vaporization.[0085]4) A chicory paste is obtained.

B—Preparation of an Extract from the Family of Asclepiadaceae (Gymnema)

[0086]1) Introduce, into aqueous phase, the Gymnema plant, preferably the leaves of Gymnema, after grinding (e.g. introduce, into 95 g of water, g of leaves at ambient temperature for 48 hours);[0087]2) The extract is then filtered;[0088]3) An extract of Gymnema is obtained.

C—Preparation of an Extract from the Family of Oleaceae (Muirapuama)

Preparation of a Mixture of an Extract of Cichorium intybus L. and of Ptychopetalum Olacoides

[0119]A preparation of a mixture of an extract of Chicory and of extract of Ptychopetalum Olacoides was carried out at the rate of 75% of extract of Chicory (see Example 2 for the method of preparation of the extract) per 25% of extract of Ptychopetalum Olacoides (e.g. aqueous extract made with 5 g of plant, preferably the stems and / or roots, and 95 g of water, at ambient temperature for 48 hours).

[0120]Said preparation was used at 5% in a hydro-alcohol solution.

[0121]The results obtained are similar to those obtained in Example 2b.

Abstract

A method for tinting, for coloring skin, or for increasing the tanned appearance of skin comprising the use of an extract of a plant from the family of Compositae or Asteraceae, preferably an extract of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.), and a method of screening a plant for the manufacture of a cosmetic composition for coloring, particularly for tinting, at least one part of skin.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a compound for tinting the skin, which is based notably on a plant extract and / or of a mixture of plant extracts. The present invention relates in particular to the preparation of a compound which is modulated as a function of the phototype of light or mat skin to be colored.STATE OF THE ART[0002]DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is today one of the only molecules which is used in the fields of cosmetics for its capacity to tint the skin. The molecule does not act upon melanogenesis, but colors the skin by a reaction with the amine functions which are borne by the amino acids of the proteins and peptides of the skin. Other molecules are sometimes used in synergy with the DHA: erythrulose, which seems to increase the activity of this reaction, or AHAs (Alpha HydroxyAcids), which seem to enable a better uniformity of the color obtained. The addition of amino acids into formulations, to enable a better control of the tint obtained on the skin, has been imagi...
